Organised Sound - An International Journal of Music and Technology

Publishers: Cambridge University Press

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Sound and Space

It has often been said that the two greatest revolutions of music in
this century have been the increase of sound source and colour to the
musical vocabulary on the one hand and the treatment of space
(physical, virtual) on the other. The former subject is one of the
through lines of "Organised Sound". The subject of space will be the
focus for Volume 3 / Number 2 and will hopefully continue on as
another through line thereafter.

The development from monophonic to stereophonic to quadraphonic to
multi-channel sound reproduction represents one aspect of placing
sound in space. The use of specific sites for music-making and the
creation of sound installations represent two other areas of interest.
Alvin Lucier's work, "I am Sitting in a Room" lets the space sing for
itself. Some forms of contemporary popular music can only be played in
vast spaces. The internet and its music represents no space at all.
Still these examples are just the tip of the iceberg as far as sound
and space developments are concerned, particularly regarding new
technologies.

What is spatial music? How does/should music behave in
three-dimensional space? Is spatial location and movement a relevant
music parameter?

As always, any submission relating to other music and technology
topics are welcomed by the Editors. Musical compositions can also be
submitted for the annual Organised Sound CD.
